Finding programs that place at World Bank and similar is going to be key - and telling them how you will leverage their connections + curriculum

So, do you think an MBA program would not get me to a non-profit organization?

Contributed directly in bringing organic business for the firm and contributing $2m in the firm’s topline. I have worked with multiple NGOs as a volunteer and consultant on 5+ different projects and actively participate in half marathons. I have been working with international clients for the past 4 years

They can get you to an NGO, but you also need to make sure that the NGO’s that recruit there also hire international candidates - as a more experienced candidate you have the burden of really showing employability in your application

Do you think it’s worth to give ISB and other colleges a shot with current GMAT score in Round 2?

Best case is connecting to somone that made to one of these NGOs from the schools you are targeting, try to align your trajectory with theirs (if this person can do it, so can I); you need to write a convincing narrative that shows you are resourceful, go above and beyond to accomplish your goals and that you will use resources beyond just the business school - networks, organizations, any connections

I do think you can give it a shot! In chats with ISB, the app numbers haven’t increased as dramatically as initially projected with Indians avoiding US/UK programs. Again, use these big accomplishments to stand out and make up for average GMAT.
